I once shot a very large western deer with a massive skull cap of horn but only a small 5 points.

The rule of the property owner was 6 or more.

Still the deer was the largest yet killed and it was end of the season.

I nailed it through the neck and he dropped in 5 yards.

Back at the camp the land owner drove up as I had finished skinning. He looked over at the skinning rack, looked around at the circle of hunters and ask" Who killed it and why". I said I did and it needed killing to improve the herd. He smiled, nodded, looked around and said. Now go find yourself a good trophy!. I did. We had a limit of one each unless the owner said otherwise.

tougher meat just means crock pot it longer. @Motomom34 , that is a lot of meat walking around. It ain't too cute to shoot.

“Man’s mind is his basic tool of survival. Life is given to him, survival is not. His body is given to him, its sustenance is not. His mind is given to him, its content is not. To remain alive, he must act, and before he can act he must know the nature and purpose of his action. He cannot obtain his food without a knowledge of food and of the way to obtain it. He cannot dig a ditch-or build a cyclotron-without a knowledge of his aim and of the means to achieve it. To remain alive, he must think." John Galt (Ayn Rand)
